MARK WAHLBERG - WAHLBERG'S JOY AT BEING 'BETTER LOOKING' THAN CLOONEY

Actor MARK WAHLBERG was so delighted critics of THE ITALIAN JOB deemed him "better looking" than movie pal GEORGE CLOONEY, he posted the reviews to him.

But Clooney hit back at Wahlberg - who wowed crowds at the London premiere of the remake on Monday night (15SEP03) - by vowing to turn the media in his favour when they team up for movie sequel OCEAN'S TWELVE.

Mark says, "They (the critics) said, 'Mark is a younger, hipper, better looking dude than anyone in OCEAN'S ELEVEN.'

"George rang and said, 'That may be, but I'll stitch you up when we make Ocean's Twelve. So enjoy it while you can, sucker.'"
